Very true...I might just do that.

 

That's my next mod! on the list - i picture my motor mounts as my front upper strut mounts, old and saggy like an old bed

 

perfect lol

 

Semisolids (engine and transmission), LWFW and straight cut 3rd gearset, have to use earplugs...but it's worth it...

 

I installed the Porsche RS mounts and can now hear more transmission whine. That's the only negative I can see.

 

^ yeah, thats that weird "added nvh" going from oems to solids or even semi's we all "hear". i call it "drivetrain" whine instead of "trans whine" because thats and I've had that! but yeah, 6 of one, 1/2 dozen of another ! they sure tighten up the car though!

 

Yup. It is noisy. Then add hard transmission mounts, solid metal motormounts and a noisy cup LSD 😳

 

I picked up some noticeable gear whine after adding hard trans mount and cup cables.. seems to be most noticeable in 5th gear at lower rpm, or in 1st gear at parking garage/parking lot speed.

 

I got the wevo engine mounts no complaints👍

 

So, the Wevo do not add to noise?

 

Not really. I got a bbi exhaust and Carbonetic triple so that noise pretty much drowns everything out.

 

I think any aftermarket engine mounts are going to add noise. Now if you have an aftermarket exhaust you may not notice the added noise. That was the exact case with mine. Put in the Porsche RS mounts while i had the Kline exhaust on and maybe i could hear a little more noise. Switched to the stock exhaust (for noise restrictions at LAguna Seca) and i had to change the oil in my transmission because i thought i had a bearing going out. 5k miles and a track day since then and it has not changed, so my transmission is not going out and it sounds like a race car

 

wevo's add nvh. but well worth it.

 

I just got my Torque Solutions engine mounts in. Just slightly more NVH, but I enjoy the added control of secondary motions. Everything feels tighter without the secondary motions coming from a flexy engine mount.

That said, the TS engine mount rod seems 1/2 shorter than the stock mount, when fully threaded into the engine mount body. While not an issue installing, I'm concerned this might be an issue when it comes to servicing the car. Often times, various maintenance of things require lowering the motor. I don't think I can control whether the nut backs off or the threaded rod backs off, and to what extent, such that I can be confident the motor is still supported?

Anyone else experience lowering the motor with these aftermarket mounts?

 

I'm likely going with the Porsche RS mounts
